# ISO 4762 Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws Specification

Screws · GB/T 70.1 / DIN 912 / ISO 4762 and GB/T 70.3 / DIN 7991 / ISO 10642

Dimensional table, tolerance classes and the DIN / ISO / ASME parts that supersede or match this standard.

ISO 4762 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for drilled-head capstan sealing screws. The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it.

- **Standard:** ISO 4762
- **Product:** Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws
- **Governing standards:** GB/T 70.1 / DIN 912 / ISO 4762 and GB/T 70.3 / DIN 7991 / ISO 10642

Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting.

Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws manufactured to ISO 4762 are dimensioned by the size table reproduced on this page. The standard fixes geometry and tolerances only; material and property class are assigned by separate documents, and surface finish by separate finish standards.

## ISO 4762 — Scope

ISO 4762 is "Hexagon socket head cap screws". The metric socket cap screw; the closely related DIN 912 covers the same form.

Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2 for mechanical property classes, ISO 4042 for electroplated finishes.

## Tolerance & Product Grades

ISO 4762 does not divide drilled-head capstan sealing screws into product grades. Tolerances are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table.

Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.

## Dimensions Specified by ISO 4762

| Head form | Governing standards | Sealing feature | Property class | Finish |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| hexagon socket head cap | GB/T 70.1-2008 / DIN 912 / ISO 4762 | cross-drilled head for sealing wire | 8.8 | black oxide |
| countersunk hexagon socket | GB/T 70.3-2008 / DIN 7991 / ISO 10642 | cross-drilled head for sealing wire | 8.8 | black oxide |

## Equivalent Standards

ISO 4762 socket head cap screws correspond to DIN 912.

## Companion Standards

ISO 4762 controls only the geometry of drilled-head capstan sealing screws. The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts, screws and studs) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards such as ISO 4042 for electroplating. For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

## Need a screw to this standard in a non-standard size?

Parts built to ISO 4762 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or warm forging.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

## Applications & Industries

Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws are bought for a small number of well-defined jobs. These are the ones we ship them for. Stocked from hexagon socket head cap to countersunk hexagon socket (nominal diameter).

### Industries that specify Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws

- **Regulated installations:** Evidence of an unbroken seal on inspection.
- **Utility metering:** A cross-drilled head takes a sealing wire that shows tampering.
- **Instrument enclosures:** Closure control on calibrated equipment.
- **Test and measurement:** Sealed access for certified instruments.
- **Food, pharma & cleanroom:** Stainless assemblies that are washed down, where the finish matters as much as the strength.
- **Machine building & OEM:** The default fastener on production equipment: covers, brackets, motor mounts and sub-assemblies tightened to a specified torque.

### Typical applications

- recording the seal number against the installation
- threading a sealing wire through the drilled head and crimping it
- choosing the cap or countersunk form for the enclosure detail
- specifying class 8.8 black oxide as listed
- joints where the property class is stated on the drawing
- clamping two machined faces to a calculated preload

### Service conditions to specify against

- **Marine and coastal:** Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
- **High load:** Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
- **Sealed joints:** Used where the fixing has to keep water or air out as well as hold — the elastomer, not the fastener, decides service life.
- **Torque and preload:** The joint is designed around bolt tension, so lubrication, coating and the friction coefficient all change the torque figure — state them together.

### Where to use something else

- Do not fit a sealing screw without actually closing the wire; an undrawn seal proves nothing.
- Do not use a machine thread into unthreaded sheet or timber; use a tapping screw, rivet nut or insert made for that parent material.

Inside the plant

## Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

1. ![Wire rod feeding into a cold heading machine](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/09-wire-rod-feed-cold-heading-machine.webp) 01 **Cold heading** Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail. Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
2. ![Thread rolling machine producing bolt threads](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/03-thread-rolling-machine-bolt-production.webp) 02 **Thread rolling** Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch. Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
3. ![Baskets of bolts staged for heat treatment](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/05-heat-treatment-baskets-black-bolts.webp) 03 **Heat treatment** Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it. Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
4. ![Zinc plated bolts in a treatment basket](https://engineeringhardware.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/23-zinc-plated-bolts-treatment-basket.webp) 04 **Surface treatment** Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list. Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Which edition of ISO 4762 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply drilled-head capstan sealing screws to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

### What is ISO 4762?

ISO 4762 is "Hexagon socket head cap screws". The metric socket cap screw; the closely related DIN 912 covers the same form.

### What does ISO 4762 specify for Drilled-Head Capstan Sealing Screws?

ISO 4762 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of drilled-head capstan sealing screws. Material and property class are governed by separate documents.

### What is the equivalent of ISO 4762 in DIN or ASME?

ISO 4762 socket head cap screws correspond to DIN 912.

### How do I request a quotation?

Use the technical drawing on this page to pick the exact configuration, then submit it with the quote form. We respond within one business day.
